Wang Miaoyin said coldly: "It's different. The prisoners of war at that time were still citizens of the Jin Dynasty. Their affairs were handled by their own country's laws. But this time, the ones attacking were the Pseudo-Yan and an enemy country.
You can't use this set of laws against the people of the country to deal with it. Just like the last time you quelled the monsters and thieves, the noble family didn't do much, but this time you traveled thousands of miles abroad and fought for more than a year. You had to rely on the powerful family members to help you.
Provide food, grass and weapons, and supplement manpower and material resources. Now, you also need to repay them."
Liu Yu said angrily: "This is wrong. These grain, grass, military equipment, manpower and civilians belong to the country, not to the noble families. It's just that the Jin Dynasty gave them official positions and authorized them to manage the place, but the taxes collected are
When it goes into the national treasury, you can't say that these are money and food provided by aristocratic families."
Wang Miaoyin laughed: "My General Chariot and Cavalry, have you really left all the logistics and armament matters to your Fat Chang Shi? Have you never asked about the source of the money and food?"
Liu Yu raised his eyebrows: "The fat man told me that these grains and grass were transported from the warehouse at the rear. If he didn't lie to me, they were stored in the national treasury. How could this become the help of the family? At most, it was only
It can be said that the officials served by the children of the aristocratic families have done their jobs effectively and collected enough taxes for the country."
Wang Miaoyin looked at Murong Lan with a sneer: "Princess Murong, it seems that you, your virtuous wife, and our fat Zhuge have helped our General Liu take care of this family and state affairs so well over the years.
He just needs to fight with peace of mind and doesn't have to worry about the source of money and food. You can help him manage the house as well."
Murong Lan sighed softly: "Send slaves, Queen Wang is right. It is true. According to the tax law of the country, thirty taxes are one, and the manpower and material resources of the people who work for twenty days are only enough to maintain the domestic operations.
It is impossible to fight some small battles to pacify the bandits and grassroots bandits, but to fight such a war of destroying the country with hundreds of thousands of troops, for more than a year, relying on normal taxes. Since the Sun En Rebellion in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, people's livelihood has been ruined and they cannot make ends meet.
, even the most fertile land of Sanwu is thousands of miles away. According to normal taxes, there is not enough food and grass in the warehouse. "
At this point, she paused: "Just like when we fought in Dayan, we dispatched more than 100,000 or more than 200,000 troops. In addition to using up the reserves in the treasury, we also needed each ministry to donate its own reserves. This time you
You should also know that the equipment, armor, and weapons of our tribes in Great Yan are all different, because these are made by each tribe themselves. Many of the cattle and sheep used in the food and grass supply are also privately owned by each tribe. This is the case here, and it is also the case in your Jin Dynasty.
Similarly, when Xie An went on the Northern Expedition, the Jin Dynasty's national power and food supplies were far stronger than yours now, but even so, major families had to contribute their own private food supplies, and you will not be any different this time."
Liu Yu's head began to sweat, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Even if there are powerful families when sending troops, in the past year of besieging Guanggu City, powerful nobles from all over Qingzhou come to transport food and people every day, not only those in China.
If you are a high-ranking family, if you want to calculate like this, do I still have to give benefits to these local powerful people?"
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "General Liu, what you said, Muzhi and I had discussed this before we came here. Yes, since the siege of Guanggu, the food transported from the rear has indeed been much less. Strictly speaking, this
From the time you sent troops to Nanyan to the siege of Guanggu for a year, all consumption and storage of the national treasury accounted for one-third. The private food and private soldiers from the noble families were probably a little more than one-third, and the remaining was less than three-thirds.
One percent is supplied by Qingzhou’s powerful locals.”
At this point, she paused: "However, don't think that these Qingzhou tycoons have good intentions. They are working hard because they are afraid that after Nan Yan destroys the country, their territory and slaves will be deprived of them. You see, before the Battle of Linqu
, the only one who came to seek refuge with you was Pilu Daoxiu, who brought more than a thousand people with him. This shows that most of the local families are still waiting and watching. Only after you defeat Linqu and encircle Guanggu will they come to join you one after another. Even if
As of today, there are still many people with the surname Gao and the surname Feng and Han in the city helping Nanyan defend the city."
Murong Lan sighed: "The land of Qingzhou has been plagued by wars since ancient times. No powerful family that can survive to this day will easily bet their treasure on one party unless it is sure that he can win. In addition, my eldest brother decided to defend Guangzhou.
After the consolidation, the direct line heads of the major families were also forcibly detained in the city, while the branch clans in various places outside the city fell on the side of your Jin army. The Queen Wang was right, they wanted to protect their own interests through this move
, and also want to divide the original territory and population of the Murong clan and the Xianbei clan after the war. Queen Wang, I believe you have been talking to them a lot this year."
Wang Miaoyin said calmly: "This is natural. General Liu is only responsible for fighting on the front line, and I, representing the Jin Dynasty and the interests of the aristocratic families, must also negotiate with the local families early on the distribution of post-war benefits. If the army fights
If we lose, we must also discuss how these families can continue to be loyal to the Jin behind enemy lines and continue to fight. Therefore, the grain, grass and ordnance shipped by the families in the rear will not only supply the army, but also provide part of it to these local powerful people.
Some of the troops who were rotated back did not go directly back to Dajin, but went to these powerful Zhuangzi and Wubao to train the villagers and make them combat capable."
Liu Yu's expression changed: "What, you actually secretly organize your army right here?"
Wang Miaoyin said calmly: "This is a state matter, not just military. You only have to fight against the black robes, maintain the rear, and manage the officials. These are not within your scope of responsibilities. If you are asked to personally intervene in everything, then you will not be involved in the front line."
Putting so much energy and time into fighting, Liu Yu, is for your own good."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "It turns out that this year, you have been picking up the fruits of victory from behind. No wonder I can't see you all day long. They all say that you go to comfort the soldiers, meet with powerful people from all over the world, and appease people's hearts. I didn't expect that you are like this
Soothing!”
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "If you don't give these powerful landowners some reassurance, how can you call it comfort? Besides, after the war, there were broken troops and bandits everywhere. If you want to besiege Guanggu, you can't disperse the army to various states and counties.
To help these local powerful people look after their homes and care for their homes, wouldn’t it mean that we can only rely on our family’s efforts to help you maintain local stability? Train militiamen, recruit stragglers, and defeat bandits. Only in this way can we stabilize our hometown while still having enough energy left over.
I'll support you in attacking the city. Brother Yu, don't be so obedient when you get an advantage, and be dissatisfied with the benefits. This is not your style."
